Turning strategy into execution through AI-ready telco platforms and operating models- Designing AI-ready platforms with trusted data, event-driven architectures and composable services at their core
- Aligning platform engineering, enterprise architecture and operating models to accelerate transformation at scale
- Embedding AI into delivery pipelines, operational workflows and decision-making to improve speed, quality and resilience
- Building modular, API-first platforms that enable continuous innovation while supporting interoperability and long-term scalability
Transforming legacy IT at scale through AI-driven modernization
- Using AI to assess application portfolios, map dependencies and prioritize modernization based on business value and technical risk
- Accelerating code refactoring, documentation generation and legacy language migration through agentic AI
- Reducing technical debt while preserving business continuity through phased, low-risk modernization strategies
- Automating testing, validation and governance to ensure functional equivalence, performance and security throughout the migration lifecycle
Platform engineering for telcos: Creating reusable capabilities that accelerate delivery
- Building internal developer platforms with reusable services, APIs and golden paths to improve engineering productivity
- Standardizing platform capabilities across cloud-native and legacy environments to reduce complexity and technical debt
- Applying platform engineering principles to accelerate software delivery, improve reliability and simplify operations
- Establishing platform governance that balances developer autonomy with security, compliance and architectural consistency
Panel: The reinvention playbook — how are CIOs accelerating transformation with composable IT and AI?
- What does "reinvention at scale" actually look like in today's telco environment, and how do you measure success?
- How are you balancing legacy modernization with the need to deliver faster innovation and AI-driven transformation?
- Where is AI delivering the greatest impact today, and where is the industry still overestimating its potential?
- How are composable IT and platform-based operating models changing the way you deliver transformation?
- Where will the next wave of value come from: greater efficiency, new business models or AI-enabled growth?
- Looking ahead, what will differentiate the telcos that successfully reinvent themselves from those that fall behind?
